323237600393Exclusive Interview with Andi Mack’s Lilan Bowdenhttps://talknerdywithus.com/2019/02/28/exclusive-interview-with-andi-macks-lilan-bowden/
https://talknerdywithus.com/2019/02/28/exclusive-interview-with-andi-macks-lilan-bowden/#respondThu, 28 Feb 2019 21:20:11 +0000http://talknerdywithus.com/?p=81937Lilan Bowden’s first love is improv. She fell in love with the craft in college and created a comic duo with her roommate and best friend Wilder Smith. Today they continue to perform sketch comedy online, in theaters, and at festivals all over.

That is… when she’s not starring in her first series regular role as Bex Mack, the mom every girl wishes they had. You know the one – she’s funny, not too strict, easy to talk to, drives a motorcycle, and dresses cooler than most of your friends.

If you haven’t seen Disney Channel’s hit teen show Andi Mack you’re missing out, and I don’t care how old you are. Without question, it’s the networks most progressive, relevant, and important show to date. It also happens to be ridiculously charming – you can’t help but fall in love with each and every character – and truly representative of the real world. Not only is the series the first to be centered around an Asian-American family and introduce a leading gay character, but it also tackles important issues kids face daily and does so with incredible heart, humor, and sensitivity.

Here Lilan and I discuss the impact of the show and what being a part of it means to her. We also talk about pop a wheelies and fast trains to crazy town, but I’m pretty sure what those mean to her and what they mean to me are two very different things….

Andi Mack is your first series regular role. How did you come by the role of Bex Mack?

Like most auditions, my agency sent me the breakdown of what they were looking for – a late 20s, mixed-race Asian American who could be funny and sarcastic but also deliver emotionally, who looked similar to Peyton Elizabeth Lee. I have never come across a breakdown that seemed tailor-made for me like this one.

You play Andi Mack’s incredibly cool, and not at all traditional, mom. Most of your scenes are opposite newcomer Peyton Elizabeth Lee, who is 14-years-old. What have you learned from one another?

YES! I’m ‘incredibly cool’, someone said it. Peyton and I seem to share some similar experiences, both being female and mixed-race making careers as actresses. I learned a lot from Peyton about what it’s like to grow up in her time. A lot of the new music I like is from her suggestions. And I’ve taught her the thrill of secondhand clothes shopping!

For the first time EVER, Andi Mack has an Asian-American family front and center on the Disney channel. Something that’s woefully lacking in all of television. What does being part of that kind of representation mean to you, especially where young people are concerned? What would it have meant to you at that age?

Oh man, it would have meant everything to me at Andi Mack’s age, and I had no idea. When I started writing comedy, later on, I wrote what I saw. I wrote myself into scripts as a side character or as a love interest to the main character. I had no models to look at to understand I could be a main character. Representation begets representation, and I feel like having diverse representation increases the quality and quantity of stories we can tell and learn from.

The show also has Disney Channel’s first gay character and a lead at that. While it’s delicately handled, maybe too delicately, I think it’s incredibly important to normalize this kind of representation. What are your thoughts on the character of Cyrus (Joshua Rush) and can we expect the show to address his sexuality a little more than it has?

{Laughs] I’ll actually say I appreciate the delicateness of the coming out scene. The first time I read it AND the first time I saw it after editing I thought, “People who have prejudices are going to watch this scene, and this could be the scene that changes their minds.” It is really hard to get someone who has preconceived notions about what is right and wrong to change their world view, and I think that tenderness of Cyrus and Buffy’s scene can pierce the hearts of almost anyone, no matter what their perspective is on LGBTQ persons.

I don’t want to spoil anything for the episodes to come, but my message to fans looking for this storyline is: Stay with us, we got you.

One thing I love about the show is how it tackles important issues affecting kids today: guns, anxiety attacks, bullying, dyscalculia, phoenicopteriphobia, and having a deployed family member are just a few. What do you think about Andi Mack’s approach to these kinds of topics and is there an issue that hasn’t been addressed yet that you’d love to see done?

I had to look up phoenicopteriphobia, very interesting. [Writer’s Note: this is a joke about one of Cyrus’ phobias] I mean, there are a million issues that would be great to address. I applaud Andi Mack’s writers and Disney for being able to tackle so many issues and still tell entertaining family-friendly 23-minute stories: such as Buffy’s hair, school dress code, parent’s unemployment, etc. to add to your list. What I like best about the show’s approach to hard topics is that they have these young characters go deep into being understanding and compassionate. Their dialogue can teach people – young AND old – about how to respond when a friend is going through a tough time.

What has fan reaction been like for you? I imagine, as a groundbreaking show, that you’ve heard a number of things from fans who finally feel seen and heard.

I can’t describe it. It does feel sometimes like my life changed overnight. I underestimated the impact it would have on kids, and I wasn’t prepared at all for the impact it would have on parents and people my age. My Asian American actor peers tout this show as a big win for all of us. A friend of mine congratulated me on our GLAAD win last year and said, “That is MY Emmy, and I am so proud of you.” I honestly get misty eyed when I think about it.

As a fan of the show, I love Bex & Bowie’s relationship. You and Trent Garrett have great chemistry and I know fans are rooting for the pair. (Confession: I have a MAJOR crush on Trent) What’s it like working together and what do you hope to see in their relationship?

I mean who doesn’t! Look at him! A crew member who observed us joking around on set one day remarked, “You guys seem more like brother and sister than husband and wife.” We’ve worked together so much now, he just feels like a big kid that I can joke around with, but what’s great is when the camera’s rolling, we take our parts very seriously. The main difference with Bex and Bowie is that Bowie is simple in what he wants and Bex is complicated. I’m hoping they (mostly Bex) are able to not let that difference get in the way of their happiness.

You and your best friend/former college roommate, Wilder Smith, are part of the sketch comedy duo Lilan and Wilder. Tell us a little about your history and why you still love working together.

Wilder and I were cast on the same improv team together and both found that we were weird in different but compatible ways. When we both graduated, we eventually ended up in LA and started writing comedy sketches together. We’re inseparable and since then have done festivals, videos, and lots of LA live shows for years and years. We even got to hang out on the set of Andi Mack together because she was hired as the dialogue coach! You can also see her in the Bowie birthday episode as the Renaissance Barker. It’s nice to have someone in your life that you know won’t judge you no matter what mood you’re in, or no matter how weird or silly you’re being. I hope everyone finds their Wilder best friend in this life.

Where can fans catch the two of you?

We’ll probably find YOU. And bother you. We’re on Instagram as @lilanandwilder, and you can see our videos on our same named Youtube Channel or on Funny Or Die. If you live in LA, check out our Instagram for live show updates.

What are some things on your acting goal list, or bucket list if you will, that you really want to add to your resume?

I love Sci-Fi stuff and would love to play some characters in that realm.

Do you have any upcoming projects you’d like to share with fans?

I’m doing a lot of live shows at Upright Citizens Brigade, I’ll have info on them on my Instagram account @yourfriendlilan

Lastly, we’re called Talk Nerdy With Us because we all have something we nerd out over. What do you nerd out about?

Long Form Improv Comedy. Discussing all the exciting/boring details of what types of players people are, what makes a good second beat, when to pop a wheelie, when an edit is too slow or too fast, connection island, and fast trains to crazy town. These terms will either bore improv nerds or leave everyone else completely lost. Talk improv nerd stuff to me any day; I’m here for it.

CORVYX is back with a brand new video and it’s quite possibly his biggest and best one yet. His Mother Monster Mashup is the ultimate tribute to pop phenomenon and icon Lady Gaga and the first mashup he’s ever done on his channel. I got the chance to talk with CORVYX in depth about how he chose the songs for this mashup, what Lady Gaga means to him and where this video ranks for him personally among all of the other videos he’s done. Keep reading to see what he had to say!

This latest video is a mashup of all Lady Gaga songs. What made you want to start off the new year with a mashup, a first for your channel?

I had originally intended to release the song in October but knew it wasn’t at the stage I thought it could be so I made a difficult, but ultimately smart, decision. Postponing it until the New Year felt like the right thing to do. Riding the energy of her recent Golden Globe/Oscar buzz nominations and her newest venture with the ENIGMA residency in Las Vegas, Gaga has only further sealed her place in the pop culture hall of fame. And so I think paying homage to her legacy now feels right.

What does Lady Gaga mean to you, both personally and as an artist?

Gaga represents the absolute extreme of how an artist can express him/herself without limitation and continue to evolve and reach success by trusting his/her artistic instincts. She took pop and the mainstream world and molded IT. Not the other way around. Personally, I think her resilience and endless commitment to bettering herself as an artist and a humanitarian is humbling. For an icon with a wealth of career milestones, to want to continually grow, evolve, and become better means that there is never a lack of inspiration. I see a lot of myself and who I want to become as an artist and a person in the career trajectory of Gaga.

How did you choose the songs that you included in the mashup?

The songs I chose to include in the mashup were manifestations of the vibe I wanted this tribute to embody. I could not possibly cover the entire GAGA discography. So I chose the more anthemic Gaga records that would make people leave the bar if they were at a club. That “OH SHIT I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY’RE PLAYING THIS SONG” song. Luckily, Gaga has a TON of songs that make people want to dance. I chose my personal favorite tracks from The Fame, The Fame Monster, Born This Way, and the ArtPop eras.

What inspired the concept for the video?

I wouldn’t necessarily say there was a concrete “concept” or narrative for this #CORVYXCover in particular. I was more focused on creating visuals that could pay homage to some of Gaga’s most iconic music videos, choreography, and fashion. Longtime collaborator and friend, Ashley DeLane Burger, choreographed the shit out of this video. We paid very close attention to detail while brainstorming/feeling out the choreography for this, knowing if we did not execute in a way the “Little Monsters” saw fit, they would eat us alive (And they still might. Hopefully not). It was tricky creating visuals that paid tribute while also creating something new and aesthetically stimulating, but I think we nailed it.

What was the filming process like? What was the biggest challenge you encountered while filming it?

Filming took about 5 hours, but we had an absolute blast filling out the beautiful venue provided by the NYC Arts Cypher, located in my hometown, Staten Island, NY. We had been rehearsing this piece for well over 2 months, and we were excited to finally be in the space, camera-ready with all of the elements aligned. The biggest challenge we encountered was reworking some of the choreography to fit the space and executing the visuals with the monster nails I wore for this one (Worth it!).

I know you’ve told me in past interviews that you like to be as involved as possible in the choreography. How involved were you coming up with the choreography for this particularvideo?

In more movement based pieces, I’m heavily involved. Ashley (Burger) really took the reins choreographing this one. She would start rehearsals with a complete routine in mind and we’d tweak together along the way. I direct from my gut and my visuals NEED to evoke a feeling. I try to communicate my vision as best I can, and Ashley helps me execute it technically.

As someone who loves graffiti, I personally loved the set design and thought it added it a lot of edge to the video. Did you guys create all the art on the walls yourselves or was that already there at the place you filmed it?

I WISH I can say that I did those murals myself, however, the credit must go to the incredibly talented local artists of the NYC Arts Cypher. We did some searching for this music video in particular because I felt it couldn’t be a random venue. It needed to match the intensity I envisioned for this piece. The gritty, moody ambiance of the NYC Arts Cypher felt like the exact energy I wanted to bring to this production. Big shoutout and thank you to them!

Gaga is known for her over-the-top, detailed outfits. Did you draw from any specific ones to create the looks for this outfit?

Gaga’s alienesque facial protrusions and provocative fashion of the Born This Way era was something that nobody in the pop world dared to approach. Most artists were being packaged like everyone else, and she intentionally gave the world the opposite. She was the pop world’s Marilyn Manson. I wanted to provide that same shock factor while paying homage to her legacy. Makeup By: Vanessa Scarola (@Contoura_Deville)

Where does this video rank for you personally in terms of videos you’ve done?

This is definitely one of my biggest and most challenging ventures in terms of production, both sonically and visually. This music video took the most preparation with 2-month rehearsals, meetings, and production. It is definitely the most realized cover I have done to date. This tribute is also the first major mashup I have done in the span of my YouTube career which automatically makes it something special. I think I’ve done Gaga justice, and I’m proud of this project. I cannot rank my videos because I feel like I’m choosing a favorite child (we all know there’s a favorite but it’s like the unspoken truth that the parents choose to ignore). I will say that this one’s a big deal for me.

Unfortunately, this single will not be available on streaming platforms. However, he is providing MP3 downloads for all of his Patrons and supporters on Patreon!

German-born actor Philipp Christopherplays Baum Arndt in the YouTube Premium’s new, sci-fi thriller series, Origin. I got the chance to talk to Philipp about how he got into acting, what his late acting coach Elizabeth Kemp meant to him, his audition process for Origin, his production company, FilmGym, and so much more. Keep reading to see what he had to say!

Tell me a little bit about how you got into acting.

I guess it all started in high school where I joined the theater group. I was a bit of a closeted actor, I would say, since no one in my family was in the arts let alone performing arts. But very early on, I fell in love with the process and the idea of “living” another character. We were lucky to have a very sensitive and open-minded director in the program who let us develop our own plays and characters. It was a nice introduction to the craft.

Was there a specific person or experience that you would credit with helping you decide that acting is what you wanted to do for a living?

I think my late acting coach, Elizabeth Kemp, is to blame for that. Nowhere else have I received more encouragement and learned more about this profession than in her class. She made you fall in love with every character you worked on and really turned acting into an art form. When she suddenly passed away last year, it seemed as if I had lost my right arm. I had always believed that we would work together one day; she was also a phenomenal actress. But then again, these people never really leave us. I might have lost my arm but deep down she gave me wings, as cheesy as that may sound.

Do you have an acting “bucket list” of things you want to accomplish in your career? If so, what are some of the things on it?

I think all of us always try to get away from being type-cast. My type happens to be “the bad guy”, which I’m fine with as I enjoy those roles. But of course, I am also longing to do something completely different. There is nothing more enjoyable than transforming yourself to the point that you’re unrecognizable. Then, of course, there are so many great actors and actresses I would love to have the privilege to work with. If Dustin Hoffmann or Al Pacino would ask me to do a little scene with them, I might pee my pants.

Let’s talk about Origin. For those who aren’t familiar with the show? How would you describe it?

People describe it as a kind of Lost in Space, but in the end, it’s really its own thing. It’s a show about survival but in Origin, it’s a group of people who are about to start a new life and try to leave their past behind. With all of it’s scary and action-laden elements, the show to me is very much a drama. The characters aboard the ship are fighting to get a second chance in life and that chance is being threatened.

What did you think of the project when you first heard about it? What was your audition process like?

Very classic. I sent in a self-tape to the CD [casting director] in London and a few weeks later was invited to meet Paul W.S. Anderson and the producer from Left Bank, Rob Bullock. Of course, I was very excited about the project as I am a sci-fi geek and I loved the production company behind it. That excitement turned into complete nervousness as me and my agent had to wait about a month to get the final confirmation. And even then, I [didn’t] finally believe it [until] I stepped onto set.

Are you a big fan of the sci-fi genre? How do you think Origin sets itself apart from other sci-fi, space stories?

Yes, I am. But I’m very picky and it has to look good. That was certainly one thing in Origin that set it apart… the look. I just loved every set and location we shot in. There was not a lot of green-screen and pretty much everything inside the spaceships was built inside the studio. I think Origin mixes a lot of genres in a unique way. Like I said before, there’s horror and action, but a lot of drama and even comedy at times through some of the flashbacks. It’s kind of like life itself.

Tell me about your character, Baum Anrdt. What is he like? How does he fit into the story?

Every group needs an outcast, someone repulsive who shakes things up but also brings them back down to earth, symbolically speaking. I think the group might be too cozy and chummy if it wasn’t for Baum, so his main job is to irritate people. However, deep down with every mean streak, there is a very soft side that lingers, which we become a witness of in his flashback episode.

Do you think Baum is similar or different, and in what ways, to the person that Philipp is?

I would say very different. I’m just a nice guy (wink).

The show features such a well-cast and diverse ensemble, featuring people like Natalia Tena, Tom Felton, Sen Mitsuji, Nora Arnezeder, and Johannes Johannesson. What was it like working with everyone?

A blast. We all brought something different to the table in terms of culture, experience, craft, etc. which made this shoot so fulfilling. People would take out their guitars and we would sing songs together, play volleyball with paper cups and play table tennis. Johannes, by the way, can sing the most beautiful Icelandic folk songs. We were all mesmerized.

I also wanted to ask you about the production company you founded, FilmGym. How did that come about? What’s it like being on the other side of the camera?

I actually studied film and majored in directing, another profession that I really love. FilmGym started out as a group of directors in New York wanting to train their “film-muscles”. We would meet twice a month with a group of actors and would just film little scenes or shorts and explore new ways of filmmaking. It was a great and fascinating time. Some really nice projects came out of that group and eventually, we ended up turning it into a production company. Since then, FilmGym has produced mainly commercials, shorts, and music videos but we now want to develop more scripted content and have several projects in the pipeline.

Last question — we’re called Talk Nerdy With Us because we all have an inner-nerd. What is something that you are currently nerding out about?

I’m currently nerding out about dogs. I want to get one but still have to convince my wife. Our 3-year-old son is on board, I think… but it’s all about finding the right one.

Even though the movie is hilarious and I’m excited for everyone to see it, this means that the entertaining press tour is officially over.

The entire cast, mostly Jeff Goldblum and Taika Waititi, have been having so much fun over the past couple weeks promoting the movie. They haven’t been taking themselves, or the movie, seriously and it’s made for some of the funniest content that I didn’t know that I needed. It must be tiring to repeat the same answers to the same questions interview after interview, so instead they tend to go off on tangents or ask their own questions, which is stumps the reporters and makes it all the more enjoyable for those of us at home.

Even though the Shadowhunters Season 2 finale was just a couple months ago, the wait for the new season feels excruciatingly long.

To hold us over in the meantime, Matthew Daddario, Katherine McNamara, Alisha Wainwright, and Isaiah Mustafa took a break from filming the highly anticipated Season 3 to bring new and exclusive content to fans in a jam-packed panel at Madison Square Garden.

We had the amazing opportunity to talk with the cast and creative team about getting picked up for an additional 10 episodes, new additions to the cast, the consequences of Jace and Clary’s actions, the coming of Lillith, and more!
